. W brought back these three Japanese members, not without a price.

First of all, these three Japanese members also need to be active in Japan for half a year, practicing while active, and going back and forth between the two places until the agency finds a suitable replacement.

Secondly. After the debut of W's new group, the business in Japan partnered with the brokerage company, and the two companies operated together.

That's actually not bad. Although W has a good influence in Japan, with channels and platforms, it used to be dominated by games and peripheral products. Although it is necessary to share a part of the income from cooperating with a Japanese brokerage company, it is more beneficial to the development of the portfolio.

The first group that was completely home-made, Kim Min-joon attaches great importance to it.

This is different from those small and medium-sized brokerage companies, which pay more attention to business reputation, capital and confidence than making money.

When Taeyeon and the others visited the company, the three Japanese trainees happened to come to the company.

Arrived at noon.

When they arrived at the company, they just had a meal, took them to eat outside, and visited the company in the afternoon.

It took a long time to select people, it took another time to persuade them, and it took another time to negotiate with the brokerage company, so I came here now.

The three Japanese members are HKT48 first student and core member Sakura Miyawaki, HKT48 third student Nako Yabuki, and AKB48Team8 member Hitomi Honda.

At the beginning, there were more than a dozen people who were targeted, but in the end, either the other party did not agree, or the company was not satisfied, and finally selected the three of them.

The Japanese entertainment market is more competitive, and not only does they have a large number of people, but they also have a graduation system, so the future is not guaranteed. The success of the three Japanese members of Twice gave them goals and ideals, and negotiations with their agency led to the signing of the trio.

Japanese companies are so easy to agree with, and behind . W Group is not unrelated.

In the closed Japanese gaming market, . W is the only alternative.

The localization policy pursued was a huge success, first "Wisdom Dragon Maze" became the first mobile game with an annual revenue of more than $1 billion, and after the sale, another mobile game "Monster Marbles" came to the top, also entering the "1 billion club", and "Wisdom Dragon Maze" was brought down.

A few years down,. W Mobile Game Studio has long been ingrained in Japan, and the chain of interests is also intricate.

Plus on the back. The size of the W Group, if you can cooperate, you will naturally try not to offend.

Without the cooperation of Japanese brokerage companies, it is almost impossible to sign a core member like Sakura Miyawaki and possibly even a future leader.

But it has been delayed until now.

"The company's restaurants, cafes and convenience stores, employees enjoy discounts, and you will be issued with an ID card later, remember to keep it. ”

"You can read the notice at the door when the restaurant is open, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and you can come over on weekends. ”

"By the way, it's best to download a Slack, you can join the company's group and various channels, such as trainee channel, game channel, ......"

Hearing this, Miyawaki Sakira's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "That, excuse me, is there still a game channel?"

In order to take care of them, the company has arranged a female assistant who is proficient in Japanese and Korean.

The female assistant glanced at her in surprise, she didn't expect the quiet little girl to like games, but when she thought of the artists in the company, she was relieved and replied: "Yes, it was created by Girls' Generation Captain Taeyeon, but you need to apply to join, and only girls are accepted." ”

Although Taeyeon a few people only today and. W signed a contract, but the news of her creation of a game group has long been spread. APINK members Yoon Bo-mi and Oh Ha-young have joined the group, and Park Min-ah is said to be among them.

Seeing that there was a wincing look on Miyawaki Sakira's face, she continued: "As long as you really like to play games, you can do it, and there is no seniority in it, but it's better to wait until after your debut." ”

"Hmm. Sakura Miyawaki nodded.

"By the way, after the Slack account is registered, it can be used to log in to all the websites of .W, such as watching programs on the .W video website, watching live games on the AzubuTV platform, and logging in. W's games, neighborhood communities, supermarket accounts, e-commerce platforms, etc., are multi-purpose and very convenient. The assistant added.

Sakura Miyawaki, Nako Yabuki, and Hitomi Honda all looked surprised.

So many areas?

I checked the Japanese website when I came. It is said that the chairman is also a senior in the entertainment industry, and he is not very old, but he has laid the current foundation with his bare hands.

I don't know if I can meet a real person?

"The food in the company cafeteria is the best of all entertainment companies, and the president occasionally eats in the cafeteria!" seemed to guess the thoughts of the three of them, and the assistant took the initiative to say.

The three blinked.

"In the company's gym, there will be a special physical fitness teacher to guide you to exercise your body. ”

"When you debut, you'll have your own practice room and recording studio, all of which are of this grade. ”

"Remember to download and install Slack as soon as possible, after joining the trainee channel, there will be various course notifications, as well as foreign language courses. In the words of the president, if you are willing to work hard, even if you can't make your debut in the future, you can be a translator. ”

The female assistant continued to introduce (show off) the company profile.

After showing them the route, take the three of them to the conference room.

Although I have already talked to them about their plans, I still need to officially confirm them when I first arrive.

That way, they can also feel at ease.

First of all, they will definitely debut as a new group, and they were chosen on this condition. However, it does not mean that they can rest easy, the training of Japanese companies is more casual, and many artists have not undergone professional training, and their foundation is poor, so they need to strengthen their practice.

Secondly, they will also join the competition of the company's trainees.

Kim Min-joon still decided to select the new group members in a way similar to a talent show.

However, unlike TV stations such as Mnet, they are all trainees of their own companies, and there is no black-box operation. In the rules in advance, mentor points have been set aside, and strong ones may not be suitable, idols are a profession that requires comprehensive scores, and the chemical effect between group members also needs to be considered.

The reason why Kim Min-joon is so obsessed with this model is not only because he likes the "Produce" series, but also because of his red eyes.

WANNAONE, the limited group launched by "Produce101 Season 2", can be unceremoniously said to be the peak of his debut, and he is the kind of monster newcomer who can hold a concert when he debuts!

. W has this platform and channel, why not do it?

It just so happened that this time it was announced that a girl group would be launched next year, which attracted many trainees in the circle to vote, although there were not more than 100, it was still easy to get together 50, enough to produce such a show.

The three of Miyawaki Sakura participated in order to let them experience the cruelty of competition and realize their own shortcomings.

Telling the other trainees that the three of them were already excluded.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory. After the meeting, the head of the room opposite suddenly stood up and said, "By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Moon Tae-young, and I am your agent in the future." ”
